Cookies are small pieces of text that a visited website sends to a user's computer (usually the browser), where they are stored before being sent back to the same website on the user's next visit. While visiting a website, the user's computer may also receive cookies sent by other websites or servers (so-called "third-party cookies") which may contain certain information (e.g. pictures, maps, sounds, specific links to other domain pages) on the website being visited. Cookies serve different purposes: IT authentication, session monitoring and storing information on specific configurations to optimise the visitor experience. Cookies may not be used to identify the visitor in person.
